3. Dental implants are becoming an
increasingly important part of everyday
dental practice. Over the last ten years,
implants have evolved from an elective
procedure to a routine treatment. Large
clinical trials have documented the high
success rates of dental implants.

4. At the same time, implants have become
simpler to place and restore, allowing for
implant treatment to be easily incorporated
into the daily life of general practices.
Implants are becoming standard of care in
many clinical situations.

Generic terminology of
implants
Root form implants are a
category of Endosseous
implants that are designed
to use a vertical column of
bone, similar to the root of
a natural tooth
• Cylinder root form
implants (tapered) depend
on a coating to provide
microscopic retention &/ or
bonding to the bone
• Screw root form are
threaded into a bone site &
have macroscopic retentive
element for bone fixation

59. Components of Implants :
IMPLANT BODY
Implant body has 3 parts :
1) Apex region
2) Body
3) Crest module (Smooth area)
Hex
(external)
Crest
module
Body of
the
implant
Apex
region
Implant collar

60. Attachment mechanism :
External hex : It resides on the platform
Internal hex : It will extend to within the implant body

61. Functions of hex:
1) Hex basically acts as a retentive mechanism between
implant body and abutment.
2) It also serves as an effective antirotation element.
 Hex area is the weakest area in the entire implant body abutment
connection
 Screw loosenings, fracture of implant components have been
noted with traditional external hex than the internal hex

62. Cover screw
At the time of insertion of implant
body or stage I surgery, a first stage
cover is placed into the top of the
implant to prevent bone , soft tissue
or debris from invading the
abutment connection area during
healing. If it is screwed into place
its termed COVER SCREW.
Cover screw
Healing screw
First stage cover

63. Permucosal
extension
A trans epithelial portion known as PERMUCOSAL
EXTENSION is attached as it extends the implant
above the soft tissue & result in the development of
permucosal seal around the implant
Permucosal extension
Healing abutment

64. Abutment : The abutment is the portion of the implant that supports and / or retains
a prosthesis or implant superstructure.
3 main types depending on how the prosthesis or superstructure is retained to the
abutment
1) Abutment for screw retention : uses screw to retain the prosthesis
2) Abutment for cement retention : uses dental cement to retain the prosthesis
3) Abutment for attachment : uses an attachment device to retain a removable
prosthesis
Abutments can also be
 Straight
 Angled

65. “The apparent direct attachment or connection of osseous tissue to
an inert, alloplastic material without intervening connective tissue”.
- GPT 8
Structurally oriented definition :
“Direct structural and functional connection between the ordered,
living bone and the surface of a load carrying implants”.
- Branemark and associates (1977)

66. Histologically :

Submerged Protocol :
A closed healing environment underneath the mucoperiosteal
cover is an absolute prerequisite for osseointegration.
Non- submerged Protocol :
Trans gingival implants penetrating the mucosa from the time of
placement
Transgingival regions of all these are highly polished.

92. Protocol for implant placement
Meticulous initial evaluation of a potential implant
patient is critical to successful treatment.
Diagnosis includes :
Systemic
Dental evaluation.
Diagnosis :

93. Preimplant medical evaluation is similar to
any periodontal or oral surgery procedures.
The most common systemic conditions and
implications for dental implants therapy are:
Smoking
Diabetes
Osteoporosis
Age
Head and neck radiotherapy
Immunocompromised patients
Psychological conditions.
Systemic Evaluation

94. Dental Evaluation
As in any other procedure, a thorough oral
diagnosis must precede the dental evaluation.
General Considerations:
Traditional radiographic surveys such as
panoramic and full mouth series are often needed.
Periodontal charting and caries detection are part
of the early evaluation.

95. The treatment plan should address control
of diseases prior to considering implant
placement.
Home oral hygiene must be exquisite, and
no implant treatment should be considered
without full patient cooperation.

96. Arch shapes and sizes
Maximum intercuspation, centric relation, occlusal
interferences
Anterior guidance
General wear facets and other signs of
Parafunctional habits
Interarch relationships
Adjacent teeth
Esthetic evaluation
Diagnostic casts and diagnostic wax-up
Dental examination particularly relevant to
implant therapy

97. Clinical Evaluation
The clinical examination includes
evaluation of tissue health, attached
gingiva, and ridges.
Ridge mapping
A clinical procedure in which soft tissue
is measured at several locations of an
edentulous ridge. Measurements can be
reported on a drawing or a model to
estimate the width of underlying bone
architecture.

98. Radiographic Diagnosis
Radiographic measurements are usually
initiated with traditional two-dimensional
methods such as periapical or panoramic
films. However, these methods do not allow
for buccolingual visualization or evaluation
of bone density, and further techniques may
be necessary.

99. A radiographic method used
to obtain cross sectional images
in which the radiographic
sources and film rotate around
the plane of interest.
Cross-sectional images of
any portion of the maxilla and
mandible can be obtained using
linear tomography.
Linear tomography

100. (CT scanning) a software assisted
radiographic technique that produces an
exact cross- sectional view of the mandible
or maxilla.
The most advanced radiographic
methodology for dental implant diagnosis is
computed tomography.
Computed tomography

101. CT images are inherently three
dimensional digital images.
Typically of 512 x 512 pixels with a
thickness described by the slice
spacing of the imaging technique.
The individual element of the CT
image is called a Voxel, which has a
value referred to in Hounsfield
units, that describes the density of
the CT image at that point.

102. CT Number or Hounsfield Units
- 1000 for Air
+ 1000 for Dense bone
+ 3000 for Enamel
0 for Water

106. Standard Imaging Planes Used in CT -Scanning.
Axial scan would be perpendicular to the long axis of the body.
Coronal section would be parallel to the long axis of the body.

107. CBVT – Cone Beam Volumetric Tomography

108. Classification of bone quality and quantity
Bone volume classifications

110. IMPLANT LENGTH:
 Implant length is selected according to bone availability.
 Measurement from the crest to a vital structure will give
an approximation of bone height.
 For mandibular posterior areas, it is recommended to
maintain the osteotomy at least 2 mm from the nerve.
CHOICE OF IMPLANT LENGTH, DIAMETER, AND
POSITION

111. IMPLANT DIAMETER:
Estimate the buccolingual ridge dimension prior to
selecting a diameter, remembering that at least 1
mm of bone buccal and 1 mm of bone lingual of the
implant must remain.
For example, a 6 mm wide ridge is necessary to
place a 4 mm implant.

112. IMPLANT POSITION:
For posterior teeth, implant angulation should
allow the implant's long axis to emerge from the
center of the occlusal surface.
For anterior teeth, the angulation should allow the
long axis to emerge through cinguli.
Implant placement should not be compromised by
lack of bone width. Bone grafting prior to
placement is preferable to poor placement.

113. The implant should not touch adjacent roots.
Multiple implants should ideally be placed at
least 3 mm apart.
Multiple adjacent implants should be parallel
whenever possible.

Stent was coined after an English
dentist Charles R. Stent
Also known as
• Collumellar stent
• Periodontal stent
• Skin graft stent
An appliance which is used to
apply pressure to the soft tissues
to facilitate healing and prevent
cicatrisation and collapse.
Surgical stent :A surgical stent
is a prosthetic appliance, which
helps to orient & position the
implants
